Hiking and Trekking: Brahmtal, Part 1

While I always try to write dry blogs related to my treks to help people recreate them again and agin, however this time I am finding it hard to do so.

I have been personally affected by this trek in a positive manner as for the first time I found people to be more cordial and not thanking there company would be an insult to decency.

Further this trek has little to recreate alone, perhaps due to excellent company I had, I feel it will be hard to do it alone and finally a lot happened on this trek that I refuse to remove from my memory.

This was also the first time I was without Happy, the first time I was unhappy by many changes India Hikes have put in and a lot more.

So this time it will not be a chronological presentation of facts, but my experience as they come to my memory.

So sit back, relax and and let us go on for this ride!

I was happy but a bit scared on the summit. We had finally made it, all of us! We had even celebrated a birthday. However to my mind strange orders were being given.

To Summit we go!

Eat your lunch, now that was a new one on the summit, I had been used to a quick dash up the summit come down and eat and here we were with bad weather coming from north and our group munching on the summit.

I was also worried about my right knee, it had helped me climb till now magnificently but now the real test was about to start, I had to go down and my knee could give up.

Finally I was worried for our group was relatively slow and inexperienced, what if the weather turned on us?

On Summit!

It all Started

I fail to remember when it all started but it was around November of 2015, when Aakash, Abhilasha and I were looking at possible treks and dates. It seemed after quite a debate that January will be feasible and we should do Brhamtal. It would be first winter trek for the two of them.
